$ 7 billion?
I'm dumbfounded by the amount of money Worldcom has "mis-stated" it's financial position? I have troubles imaging $ 1,000, but $ 7 billion? How many zero's does THAT need? What's going on? Is this corporate terrorism?

$7 billion
$7,000,000,000.00

Now when creditors call me about past due bills I know what I'm going to tell them. If WorldCom can lose track of $7 billion, how the he11 do they expect me to keep track of sums under $100?

Part of their accounting snafu. At least they're saying it was a snafu. That's what they say when they get caught with their pants down around their ankles and everything is hanging out, so to speak.

ROFL! Tell them you are taking your worldcom stock losses out in free phone service.

You: "I figure I can be on the phone with Argentina for the next month, what do you think?"

Them: "Uhhhh..."

You: "F$#% off you thieving b@st@rd!"

did you know?
if you get caught corporate stealing you only have to give "some" of the money back. i think they're trying to make it a law that you have to give it all back. so you get a few mil, spend a few years at the country club, get out and spend some more years ata real country club. those jails for these people are better than my apartment. i bet id be allowed to bring my dog in with me too.

Approximately 238 #&%!$loads, LOL



I heard on CNN that the prison they sent Trafficant to has tennis courts. It overlooks a golf course, but the prisoners don't get to use it.

Damn Tilt that is inhumane. They can see the golf course, but can't play?

Man that is he11 on earth.
